My Conversation With Georgia Election Expert Garland Favorito

AmericanThinker-
By Joe Fried

In September, I wrote about a disturbing case of Democrat lawlessness. Commissioners in Fulton County, Georgia (the Atlanta area), had refused to allow two Republicans to serve on the Election Board, despite a court order from Judge David Emerson of Fulton County Superior Court. The County may be subject to a $10,000 fine per day until the appointments are made.

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO BREAK THE LAW

Recently, I raised this issue in a conversation with Garland Favorito (Garland), a co-founder of the nonprofit organization VoterGA, and someone who knows more about Georgia election matters than anyone else.

Garland noted that the Democrat-controlled Board of Commissioners is still defiant, will not seat Jason Frazier on the Fulton County Election Board, and will not renew Julie Adams’s appointment (she’s been on the Board since 2024). Garland believes that the Board of Commissioners is “willing to spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to try to get out of following the law.”

The Commissioners justified their decision by claiming that Frazier and Adams are “election deniers,” a characterization that Garland strongly disputes. In any event, he argues, being a so-called election denier is not relevant because “the statute is clear.” Republicans have a right to appoint these individuals, and the Board has an obligation to seat them.

Garland and I also discussed other troubling issues pertaining to elections in Georgia generally, and in Fulton County in particular. He noted that many critical issues from the 2020 election remain unresolved. Here is a summary of some of the items discussed. MORE
